Every Friday in The Copper Bar is La Fiesta! A free-to-dance global music night featuring Afrobeat, Reggae, Latin, and Jazz with live band. Free entry, every Friday!
Bacana Maresia – or Bacana for short – is a Manchester-based band led by Beatriz Rodrigues and Joel Arriaga, celebrating the vibrant sounds of Brazil. With Paolo Fuschi and Diego Prato rounding out the lineup, the band blends samba, bossa nova, and Brazilian funk/soul from the 60s-80s. Their energetic performances feature classics from icons like Tim Maia, Elis Regina, and Jorge Ben Jor, along with hidden gems from across Brazil and the wider Portuguese-speaking world. Bacana Maresia delivers a vintage sound with modern flair, creating an atmosphere where, one moment, you are the Girl from Ipanema, and the next, you’re hopelessly in love with her.
